    But Jolly, it goes both ways. There are those on both sides who have positions so far to one side.

    I am sure there are people on the republic side (and maybe democrat side) who would prefer to eliminate any environmental laws and assume that the market place will put things in teh direction they are supposed to go.

    When you always ride the middle rail, all you get is a sore butt.

    Yep. As the nuns at St. Francis were fond of pointing out, no money, no mission.

    Humidity 96% is how I remember Louisiana. But I was further south. Glad all is well, if wet.

    A google search found this.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25082478

    Most common cause of GGO is pulmonary edema aka fluid in the lungs. Often CHF.

    Now if you had the breakout of the crew that had GGO you might be on to something more significant.

    I have no idea if GGO goes away naturally. I guess someone can google that.

    I have no problem with Trump hotels being treated exactly the same as other businesses with a less odious different name on them.

    But he still should have divested.

    @George-K said in PSA: You can skip RMDs in 2020:

    Nevertheless, it's nice that you can save a bit extra until you're 72.

    I have had an inherited IRA since my father died in 2011. So despite being a youngster of 51 this applies to me too.

    We learned something.

    We see the bats during the summer in our field at dusk, flying around catching the mosquitoes.

    Sometimes, I go out there and throw pebbles up in the air and watch them swoop down, catch them and then release it. Great fun with an adult beverage in hand.

    @jon-nyc said in Meanwhile in Illinois...:

    Telling the electorate what they want to hear then doing the opposite because thatā€™s what the donors want has never happened before?

    As far as this issue, things may have changed a mite.

    I doubt he does.

    Really, this is one the media has only ever distorted so people genuinely believe he was saying there were nice people among the tiki wielding demonstrators.
